Comcast to Debut New HD Channel in January

Comcast said today that it will launch a sports HD channel in January that will combine programming from Versus (formerly Outdoor Life Network) from noon to 7:00 pm and the Golf Channel from 7:00 pm to noon. Comcast will make the new channel available free to cable companies that currently carry both Versus and the Golf Channel. When it debuts in January, the new channel (Versus HD?) will be available on all Comcast systems nationwide as well as DIRECTV and will show National Hockey League games, PGA Tour events and the Lance Armstrong-less Tour de France in high-def.

Let's see...golf is played during the day, and hockey is played at night. Seems like Comcast got it exactly backwards. I have no desire to watch golf highlights in HD, but I would love to see the NHL live. Go figure...
